adding a dump pipe won't increase the boost unless it is a poor design and doesn't alloy the wastegate to flow properly.

unless you have an aftermarket ecu you won't be able to run 15psi anyway, although you would gain power from doing it, but you may find your turbo doesn't last very long before it goes on a diet (and the exhaust wheel comes off the turbo and makes friends with your catalytic converter)

if a dump pipe is costing you $1500, i really suggest you find a new place to shop unless you get a shag every night for a week from a really hot chick with it. just get a cheap split dump pipe for about $100. i had one on my 33 and it worked fine.

i would also get a fmic kit, especially if you are running 12psi through the stock one. the stock cooler will suffer heat soak after only a few hard accelerations and basically won't be doing much cooling after that.

$2k?

I would spend 600 on a stage 2 advanced driving course and 1400 on a set of track tyres. you've already got everything else you need to go quick in the car

u dont think i need a front mount an dump pipe to give that little extra..?

you do NEED a front mount. as mad082 mentioned earlier that the stock cooler will be suffering from heat soak.

get the dump pipe.

go get a nistune done as well and that will keep you happy for the time being.

yer i think that is the go for sure.. do u think that will give me close to 200rwkw..? thats really all iam aiming for off this car.?

the issue with the stock turbo is the ceramic exhaust wheel. when they are highflowed they usually have a steel wheel put on (as where it sits is made larger so needs a larger wheel). the limit to what you can run then is then down to mods and what pressure it stops making power, but would be well above 15psi

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
